The interviewer didn't show up and didn't try to reschedule. I reached out multiple times with no response. The hiring manager had said they would hire me based on skills but didn't communicate.

I met with the nurse manager at the surgery center and they did a background and license check. It was a pretty easy and fast process. They were professional and told me what the job involved, the hours, and who I'd be working with.

It started with a phone screen where they asked behavioral questions. Then I had a second interview with the clinical manager, and a third one with the director. They asked a lot about my past experiences. It was very engaging. You should prepare examples ahead of time.

Behavioral Technical

I met with the EVPM first. Had a great interview and was offered a second interview with the medical directors. This interview also went well. I reached out about a week later inquiring on the status of the interview process and was told via email they decided to go in a different direction. The position was reposted 1 month later. Based on the interview questions and statements, there is likely a turn-over issue with the position.
